Buggy rolls report 11/19-11/20

Buggy is a Carnegie Mellon tradition which has existed since 1920. The sport, practiced throughout the academic year, culminates in an annual series of relay races held on each year’s Raceday during Spring Carnival, in which teams vie for the title of “Champion.” The Buggy Rolls Report column reports on the buggies and roll counts for all of the teams which attend the freeroll practices (“rolls”) each weekend organized by the Carnegie Mellon Sweepstakes Committee. All of the information reported in the column is provided by the Carnegie Mellon Sweepstakes Committee.

There were no rolls last weekend, due to extreme cold. With no rolls Thanksgiving weekend and the cold weather likely spelling cancellations for any potential days of rolls afterwards, it may be the case that fall rolls have concluded. Let us take a look, then, at the cumulative roll counts for this semester.

SPIRIT has rolled four buggies this semester: Kingpin II, Seraph, Mapambazuko (Zuke), and Inviscid. Kingpin II got 22 rolls in, Seraph got 29 rolls in, split between two drivers, Zuke got 15 rolls in, and Inviscid got 21 rolls in.
